Лазурное великолепие Azure splendor

My friends and I have long been in love with the island of Santorini. We got there for the “Greek wedding” of a friend and it is still difficult to find words to describe this pearl, a tiny island that enchanted us at first sight.
But when the question arose about a big summer vacation (we rested in August 2015), most of our noisy company wanted the usual set: beach-sea-all-inclusive. (By the way, there is none on Santorini) The choice of the hotel was entrusted to me, and I found the magical Mitsis Blue Domes on the island of Kos.
Firstly, I began to look through the hotels of the Mitsis chain, because our friends have rested there more than once and the reviews were the most positive. Then I saw these blue and white houses - a typical feature of the architecture of Santorini, the hallmark of Greece. Secondly, the hotel is located right on the beach and at the foot of the mountain. This view is mesmerizing even from photographs. In life it turned out to be even more atmospheric and impressive.

I really liked the hotel and made the rest truly memorable, for a long time.
I'll start with the territory. Very well-groomed, similar to a park with many multi-level pools (some with sea water, some with fresh water). The pools have sun loungers, but there it happened not to break through. On the beach, we never had such problems.
The beach itself is perfect! Small pebbles, which do not need to be shaken out for a long time from everywhere, sunbeds are more than enough. The water is the cleanest, probably also because the pebbles are not sand, and the outlines of the neighboring islands are clearly visible from the coast (another similarity with Santorini).
The hotel buildings, two and three-story, are located on a rather vast territory, and, as I said, near the mountain - along it. Hence some elevation differences. This was inconvenient for some, especially after the beach, but you could call an electric car and drive through the hotel to your room. We have never done this, but we saw those who wanted to. I think they just wanted to ride, use the service.
Service at the hotel at the highest level - from regular cleaning, replenishment of mini-bars to the desire of staff to help and fulfill your wishes. The food in the restaurants (in addition to the main one - there are also several themed restaurants and 6 cafes with snacks like pancakes) is varied and really tasty. Themed restaurants (a la carte) need to be booked in advance. Our large company, for example, had to wait a couple of days, because the recording was very tight (we went to Italian).
I remember and I want to say thank you again and again for the fact that our vacation in Blue Domes was really a success. Everyone found pleasure for themselves.
